in honor of halloween a mafia game with no mafia. instead one character is selected as "the thing" who infects other players. Similar to cult every other night they infect one other player. Difference is if the original is killed another infected takes its place. Meaning you have to kill them all to win.

Special units

Medic: can test 2 people a night for infection

Jailer: can lock up one other player. Player cannot vote or become infected but can be tested and lynched.

Security: Each night he can look up security cameras to see who was with another character the night before.

The Thing: Every other night infects another player

Infected: Those taken over by The Thing
Mystery creature: Power will be revealed to player

If it's balanced properly, I'd love this. I'd put some restrictions on the jailer, so that he can't constantly just keep one person locked up, and maybe take some precautions to ensure teh game doesn't have a chance to end on the first day, if the thing already gets lynched.

If one person is infected per night, and there's one lynch a day, the thing instantly wins, if the game doesn't end on D1. You'd probably need to balance it differently.

I did, I said every other night, though am asking if I need further alterations

No you didn't. :P

You need a comeback mechanic for the town. Like, some way to ensure they can keep going, even when the thing keeps expanding.

Every time the town misses the Thing, the town's down two players (One killed, one infected). You maybe don't want the infected communicating, so that the town doesn't get super screwed over by the Things voting block growing constantly, and the town's shrinking at an even faster speed.

yea I need some special unit that can also attack the infected, while keeping it hidden who that is. Maybe allow them to work with the medic, so they can do night kills but only with those confirmed infected
